2024 Toyota Supra Review: Is the Manual a Game-Changer?

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Let’s test drive and review the 2024 Toyota GR Supra 3.0 - this time, with a 6-speed manual transmission! This car is the 45th Anniversary Edition, meaning it’s one of only 900 built and comes in a special orange paint color called “Mikan Blast.” (No, it’s not red!) It costs $65,000.
When the fifth-generation Toyota Supra debuted, there were two main complaints: It’s sourced from the BMW Z4, and it doesn’t come with a manual transmission. The new Supra had a lot to live up to; the MK4 Supra and its 2JZ engine became so famous due to the Fast and Furious franchise, and because the Supra nameplate wasn’t for sale for about two decades, there was a lot of time for the anticipation to build.
The new Toyota Supra comes with two engine options - a 2.0 liter and a 3.0 liter - and this car has the 3.0-liter, twin-scroll turbo inline-6. The car makes 382 horsepower and 368 pound-feet of torque, and its acceleration from 0 to 60 mph is less than 4 seconds.
In America, there aren’t a lot of new manual-transmission cars these days. Manual vs. auto take rates favor autos by a staggering margin, because the evolution of technology now means most people don’t want to shift their own gears. For a few years, it looked like the Supra would be just another auto.
But Toyota (and BMW) came through, finally blessing us with a stick.
When the new Supra arrived a few years ago (as an automatic-only model), reviews were mixed. A lot of people, myself included, said it lacked some personality. It was fun, practical, and did all the right things, but it did them with such ease that there was something … missing. When the manual arrived, the question became: Can it provide what the automatic Supra lacked?
The answer to that is complicated, but we hope to do it justice in this video. Thanks for watching my KZread channel. Enjoy the drive!

    I just got this exact car on Monday, 45th anniversary, manual in Mikan Blast. Everything you say is true. Wind buffeting is real, I do not like the reverse (forward and to the left, too close to 1st gear), parking is tough for me. The power is probably too much for a novice like me…..but it is so beautiful. It looks like a hot wheels car came to life. So fun to drive. No regrets!

    it would be hard and very expenisve for toyota to make a brand new engine that has to be at least just as capable as the b58 engine and you cant ignore the aftermarket and manafacturing support the b58 have even before the sale of the supra if toyota made its own engine it will cost more and probally be less capable less efficient and lack aftermarket support there a reason why even before the supra was on sale people nick name the b58 the german 2jz just think of it this way would you pay 20k extra for pretty much a the same car then this current supra jusst for the sake of saying its a real toyota.

    Solid Review and a very fair grade assessment. Not everyone can drive a manual (often due to health conditions and not a lack of skill or desire), so I am glad this is offered in an Auto. How does this compare the the ND2 RF Auto for you? And that trunk fit was iffy at best 🤣 Thanks for another great video For me the 3rd Gen in all white will always be my personal pick of Supras but no hate at this Gen at all.

    Great review Alanis. Last year I bought a brand new ''23 premium MT Supra and I love the car. I personally think that the collaboration between Toyota and BMW is a match made in heaven. The reliablility we know and love from Toyota and the ultimate driving machine engineering from BMW is what you dream about. I love when people say its a BMW because to me thats a compliment. I remember wanting a Supra when I was a kid and saw Paul Walkers Supra in Fast in the Furious but I wasnt going to shell out insane money on one today. I didnt think I would like the look of the MKV until I saw it in person and most photos/videos dont do the car justice. The car has a presence that turns heads everytime its on the road. When I finally saw one in person last year, I immediately became obsessed with the car. Sure its not for everyone but it won me over. Personally I am not a fan of the 45th anniversary spoiler they threw on there and that vinvul sticker but thats an optional package at least. As small as the interier is I think its just enough for my weekend car. I couldnt see this car being my only means of transportation but some people make it work. Personally I love the interior because its simplified. The lack of a massive screen and having actual buttons is a huge plus in my book. These days I think borning can be good imo. Also, you eventually get used to the blind spots and learn where to look after some time driving and I only have a bit over 2K miles on the car right now. When it comes to the interior tech its pretty impressive. I dont care for the wireless charging and wireless carplay. It can overheat your phone if you leave it on too long but is convienent for short trips. (The phone holder comes off btw. its just there so your phone doest fly away when you're accelerating hard or "hitting the twisty bits") When it comes to the power... this car is a little monster. The power to weight with the underrated BMW performance numbers makes for a hell of a experience. Personally I do not see why anyone who isnt tracking their car would need more power. As is it can get scary if you arent careful and like you said its extemely comfortable at those speeds. This car wants you to go as crazy as you think you can because it can take more. In the 2K plus miles that I have put in the car I can't count how many times this car had me smiling while driving.

    This Supra and the new NSX (and the latest GTR but on a lesser degree) have one thing going against them: Nostalgia. Both are great cars but they can't beat the memory of when enthusiast were young with a poster of their dream car on their wall in the 90s, truth is, both cars were not selling in their later years so they had to be discontinued. I'm most certain that in the future, both these new generations will be viewed a lot better and will sell well in the aftermarket.

    I enjoyed your presentation of the Supra. I am looking at getting a fun retirement car and would drive it for quick trips. Your description of the driving makes me lean a bit toward the Miata RF. (I am looking at both). Your description of "so removed from the road" is a cautionary flag for me. I loved my 328is BMW 6 so the engine does not bother me. Also, the visibility and interior are another concern. Thank you.

    I disagree, she sort of drove it for a week. The vent covers can be removed, the ducting is fully functional. For the common driver Toyota kept the plastic covers. There is plenty of viewing and I’m 6’2” but I don’t have a problem with getting in, out, or seeing. The car is not meant for the timid, it’s meant to be driven.

    Great video Alanis. I think the Supra is a fairly good car but Toyota really missed the mark at making it a true successor due to the lack of the 2+2 seating which all other Supra/Celica models have. Like you pointed out in your review it was meant to rival the American pony cars all of which are 2+2 configuration. Totally agree though its a good looking car and definitely inspires a fun ethos.

    This design speaks to me; wish I could afford one. Mine would be a 2.0 and I'm fine with it being only an automatic, although Toyota SHOULD offer the manual on it, as well. I love the styling, although the blind spots are worrisome. The technology package with blind spot monitoring, among other things, is a must. The 2.0 lacks the adaptive dampers of the 3.0 and its brakes aren't as good, either but since I'd not be running on any track, that's not a concern for me. It being mostly a BMW isn't a problem for me because I recognize that low volume cars often need to share components, even between 2 manufacturers. This IS a great sportscar and I wish it were more appreciated. It has proven fairly reliable too so that aspect isn't sullying Toyota's good name. Wish it were a bit less expensive, though. The base 2.0 isn't a good value against a base Nissan Z which is a few grand less to start. The Sopra's a better car, however. And great review, Alanis! 👍

    This is not a giant LC500/500h luxury grand touring car. The whole point of it is the driving experience. I really don't focus on the interior color when I drive my 2024 GR Supra (45th anniversary edition). I focus on the heads up display, the effortless passing power, and the excellent steering and handling. The auto transmission version is excellent, and I can drive with a passenger with two cups of coffee in the drink holders. Try doing that with the manual transmission, and you'll have coffee flying everywhere.

I'm no engineer, but if Ford could double up 2 V6s to make a beastly Aston martin V12, why can't Toyota super glue together two G16E 300hp turbo triples to make one honkin 500+ hp TT 3.2L straight 6? It doesn't seem like it would be that simple to do, but a monster 3.2L Toyota engine would make the new 5th gen a legend. That six could also go in their trucks to diffuse development costs. Or maybe they can first just stop being recalcitrant dorks and stuff that turbo three in the 86.

    I'm a big fan of the design of this car but nothing else. I know this is the top trim level but for 65k it should have a nicer interior, better engine, or just be cheaper overall. The fact that the base model makes only 255HP and still costs 50k is a disgrace. This shouldn't cost twice what a GR 86 costs for only 50 HP more. It's not twice the car. I'd take the Lexus RC-F over this any day. That car has an amazing interior and a glorious N/A V8 that produces almost 500HP but unfortunately no manual but for the N/A V8 I don't know who wouldn't make that tradeoff.
